You’re not wrong Sam. This is one of the dangers of too much handholding and relying on others just telling you what to do and which steps to follow. Modeling is hard and it’s not just about following steps and pushing buttons in Blender’s UI. You have to get yourself in hard situations and you have to try and get out of them yourself in order for your mind to start putting together the intuition on how to model something. The help we offer HAS to be limited or you risk not developing the skills needed.
Usually when this happens, when you feel you are way in over your head, it just means you have to take a few steps back. Like playing an RPG and you get to a boss fight and you see there is no way you’re going to beat him, you need to level up more and get better gear. Same here, that bee is level 30 and you’re level 5 right now, so you have to go and beat normal enemies on the map.
Step back and try a simpler challenge. Did you watch the Blender Basics? Did you watch The Fundamentals of Mesh Modeling? If not we can link you up, if you have watch them, then we can link to follow up tutorials that will help you start small and getting the hand of things.
